I would love to have a chat room to go to. Hopefully there will be others that would join us.

Great - Hopefully we will get more people to join us over the next couple of hours :)

count me in! I'm in San Diego, CA. Typically I'm home by 5 30ish or so, not sure what time zones everyone is on, but I'm sure we could make it work. Lets do this.

Great idea for people who do not live GA meetings.

Hi Candcand,

This would be very nice. Please let us know if you can set one up.

I'm going to try the GA conference call on Wednesday's too.

Thanks!

Great idea, I'd be up for it (depending on time zones).

I found a place where there is a GA room we could use to chat. If anyone is interested sometime. I have to get to sleep tonight but here is the address. I tried it and it works.

Yes, the second one below gets you there quicker. Put in any user name and no password is required.

Click on the GA room and you are ready to chat. Somebody pick a day and time and let's do this! :)

OK one more step. When you get in there.

Click on the top left where it says "lounge". That makes the drop box come down and the room is called the gamblers recovery room. Click on that and you are in. If you try to click on the right that doesn't work. The user names of the people chating will show up there once they are in the room.
